Here is how Tron (TRX) has proved its critics wrong

At the time when Tron was created, the cryptocurrency received lots of criticism. Initially, many thought the project would be a failure and won’t last that long. Most crypto enthusiasts also believe that Tron would vanish under impracticable codes.

It doesn’t end there. When Tron unveiled its interest to take responsibility for creating a decentralized Web – which is the primary goal of Tron, it really wasn’t easy for Justin Sun and his team as they were criticized as a blockchain without no product. But were these critics correct?

Tron has answered all its critics

It was discovered that Tron had plagiarized its Whitepaper from Ethereum, people began to label Tron as a failure. Nonetheless, Tron has been very lucky in the crypto sphere.

Its Initial Coin Offering was held in September 2017 and it came at the time when cryptocurrency was beginning to gain fame, thus, offering the crypto sphere more than $500 billion by the end of the year. At that time, Tron – the cryptocurrency initially labeled as a failure, recorded a meteoritic sale of $70 million.

After releasing its press release, Tron increased from $0.04 to $0.3 in just a few weeks. Since then, it has attracted a lot of investors in the crypto market today, and even now, it is still doing a relatively good job (considering the bloodbath that crypto market has been seeing from time to time this year so far).

We do know that it is a normal phenomenon for a digital asset to undergo hefty disapprovals on the part of its community; one can clearly see that with Cardano (ADA) and Ripple (XRP). It was said that Cardano was bought by some people with no future promises of realistic profits (which is wrong). Ripple, on the other hand, received lots of critics on the number of FinTech companies that have really adopted its products.

Even though critics and misinformation have given tough time to Tron, the blockchain firm’s answers have proved to be worthwhile. Talking about some of its most recent successes, the cryptocurrency acquired BitTorrent, and it is also working on new projects such as the Project Atlas.

Tron’s MainNet and its Virtual Machine

Tron’s MainNet was created to gain independence from Ethereum and for developers to get the avenue to develop Dapps (Decentralized Applications) on Tron’s network. The MainNet was launched on May 31s this year. As GlobalCoinReport reported at that time, Tron’s MainNet didn’t bring a surge to its price, which may be because the publicity around it was over.

During that period, it seemed Tron needed to work more to attain investors’ prospects. Also, Tron’s Virtual Machine was launched recently, but it still hasn’t surge its price (credit goes to the whole crypto market’s dip).

At the moment, Tron’s investors are discarding the misinformation and inadequacies, but looking at its long-term visions.

Tron’s surge and dips

The long-term prospects haven’t evidenced its value yet. At the time of writing, Tron is priced at $0.01752 and ranked No.13 according to CoinMarketCap. Not too long ago, Tron was labeled as one of the ‘most used’ cryptocurrencies on 200+ online stores according to Bitcoin Superstore.

Consequently, the crypto has received lots of attention lately – even though it allegedly erred by plagiarizing its ICO. Not to forget, Tron’s Reddit community has more than 65,000 users currently. With all that in mind, Tron is set to recover soon, all we need do is to wait and see what will occur before the year closes. If the market recovers well, the coin might follow suit efficiently, but it won’t surge alone as it can’t as of now at least.

Solana Price Surges Beyond $100, Dethroning Ripple and BNB To Secure Fourth Place

Crispus

Solana price performance in recent times has been remarkable, surpassing Ripple and Binance Coin to become the fourth-largest cryptocurrency by market cap. The SOL price breached the critical level of $100 for the first time since April 2022 over the weekend to imbue optimism among investors. However, the altcoin has corrected by 7%, suggesting that the market is overheated. At the time of writing, the ‘Ethereum killer’ was trading slightly lower at $111.60.

SOL Outlook

Solana price has made a significant recovery over the past few weeks, climbing above the psychological level of $100. The altcoin has been one of the best-performing assets this year, extending its year-to-date gains to more than 1,025%, with more gains recorded in the past month alone. However, even with such growth, analysts have noted that Solana has a bleak chance of topping its ATH of $260.

The reason behind this is the increase in supply relative to its value. In November 2021, when the Solana price hit its all-time high of $260, its total market capitalization was around $78 billion. Despite the value of the crypto asset being less than half of what it was at the top, its market cap is currently hovering near $50 billion.

This has been brought about by the increase in the Solana supply by more than 100 million SOL over the past two years. According to some analysts, for the altcoin to retest $260, its…

Solana Price Skyrockets to 20-Month Peak Amidst Memecoin Frenzy

Solana price has noted significant gains over the past few weeks, climbing to its highest level since April 2022. The ‘Ethereum Killer’ almost topped the crucial level of $100 on Friday, before pulling back slightly. The asset’s recent surge has catapulted Solana’s total market cap to $39.6 billion, ranking 5^th after and above BNB and XRP, respectively. Solana has jumped by more than 22% in the past week and more than 80% in the month to date. At the time of writing, SOL price was trading 0.90% lower at $93.10.

Catalysts Behind SOL’s Rally

Solana price has been on a strong bull run over the past few days, rocketing to its highest level in 20 months as the network benefits from the substantial activity and strong interest in memecoins. The SOL token, the native digital asset of the high-performance blockchain platform Solana, has shown some serious strength over the past few weeks, outperforming all the altcoins in the market.

The recent surge in the Solana price has been linked to heightened on-chain activities on the Solana blockchain. Notably, the ongoing hype for the blockchain’s speedy transactions, cheap fees, and a lottery of meme coin issuances has buoyed SOL’s on-chain activity. Metrics have revealed that Solana has been the strongest draw among on-chain traders, with trading volumes and network fees outperforming Ethereum- the largest altcoin by market cap.

Solana price has jumped more than 8% over the past week, breaching the important level of $60. At the time of writing, Solana was trading 3% higher at $61.07. The asset’s total market cap has climbed to $25.9 billion over the past week, ranking it the 6^th largest cryptocurrency after XRP. The total volume of SOL traded over the last day has declined by 8%.

SOL’s Bullish Cues

Solana’s price has been among the best-performing cryptocurrencies this year amid continuous growth. The “Ethereum killer” has consistently impressed investors throughout the year on the back of a resurgence in bullishness, which saw SOL’s price climb more than 513% in the year to date. Institutional investors have also shared the bullish sentiment, making Solana their most preferred altcoin.

In the week ending November 24, Solana recorded inflows worth nearly $3.5 million, significantly more than the other altcoins’ inflows combined. The asset’s monthly inflows were higher at $40.2 million, lower than Ethereum’s $99.6 million inflows in the same period. Other altcoins, including Litecoin and Ethereum, noted significant outflows, making Solana nearly half of the home for DeFi. This implies that when it comes to institutions, Solana is currently the best-performing altcoin with the potential of a long-term rally much higher than other digital assets.

Notably, the Solana DeFi ecosystem accomplished a significant milestone earlier this week. Its Total Value Locked (TVL) hit a new yearly peak of over $655 million,…
